POETRY
The Distant Dream
--
When the veil of the night falls,
And darkness still remains;
When the light beckons forward,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When the brightest star shines
And darkest hour pass;
When no sorrow remains,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When the world echoes joy,
And all arms diminish;
When brotherhood becomes soul,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When whispers become heard,
And nothing is concealed;
When freedom is restored,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When the world is all smiles,
And laughter blaring along;
When tears pour not,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When the chirping birds come alive,
And with joy spread their wings;
When none can rule to win,
’tis the distant dream I see.
When God speaks to humanity,
And humanity loosen ego,
When brother to brother is love,
’tis the distant dream I see.
So, the distant dream I see
Spells loyalty, love and joy;
As does the word of God,
Spells freedom again to try.
And as the world echoes
The distant dream I see,
So in my mind and heart,
This distant dream I dream.
The dream of all together,
And joy so pure, everlasting;
The dream of love binding,
That remains a distant dream.
